If offense ie jzivcii to any one. we surest that tlio Professor is jrunenilly wandering around town, nnd easily irot at.

Tlio Oregon Hallway & Navigation Co. own in thin and linker county nearly tiilOU acre of laud, most of it lying near North Powder These , lands are iim-tly covered with siifje brush, and are dry desert lands. The company ask for those, lands from $1. to $10. per acre, owing to location, payable in' six annual payments. The company make a very line showing in their pamphlets how easy ills to buy these lands at. tho pi Ices asked, and hnve besides the !aud piircha-od, a snug little sum left at the expiration ot six years. I ludeive these sage brush lands can be cultivated with the same profit, as the lauds in (irande Uonde valley known as the Sand Hidge, but never, as long as such exorbitant pri ces are asked for the lirst cost of tiiiini proved land. Kit) acres iit-'?IO. per acre would cost the buyer d PICO besides the interests on (he live annul payments so that, the first cost, of t lie laud yroiihl exceed S-'ouo. Add to this the co l of necessary buildings, farm implements and slock to carry on farming, togeth er wilb Ihe cost of fencing, seed etc, al least $-JuW or .;M)00 more making a total of l..rm nr ?:.000 before the. ground is in rulliviilimi knocks 1 lit bottom out of (lie prosperity of those whom Ihe railroad company would have you believe to be so prosperous by buying their valuable (?) lauds. If the company would olfer their bet lands at 1. per acre it might be pos sible. t,o buy tlicni mid improve them. .Tusl as lollg as Mich price .11 o de manded tor these lands, just so Jong will they remain an idle waste of sae brush, bunging in nothing to the railroad company, except heavy bills for the taxes. Much impiiry has been made in regard to these lands by those who are anxious to gel them, but Ihe price for each class of lands m o be yond the reach of most men who care for them, and preclude ihe possibility of making it profitable by inves ting so much money in ho small amount of unimproved lauds. We hope to see the time .shortly when these lauds will be placed at stieh lig nres as will justify pirsons in buying them for the purpose ot cultivation. Mil 11 OA US The general belief here in regard to working the roads Ibis year is that it will be much heller for us that the wtirk on the streets ot I'liioii should be placed upon the roads leading to th's place. Our streets are in line condition and have been all winter, while many of Ihe highways centering here, need a largo atuounl ot labpr ex pcuded upon (hem to make them what they should be good roads. It makes no differeii'-e to farmers and others bow good our streets may be, if the roads leading here are almost impas sible a portion of (bo time. This is not the case, however, as tlio roads leading here, are perhaps belter than the roads leading into any other town in I'iiSou county , but we want them still improved and it can be done v itlioiit any detriment to our streets this year. And as the people of this town are willing to have their road work placed upon our roads, there can bo no gd reason why it should not bo so placed. One of tho bust things a place can havo Is to Its ap proaches rood roads (livo us good roads ami Union will always bo found us she Is to-day, tho fore most town In tho county. Again tho pooplo of Union, and llio.se who havo to travel over tho l'yle canyon road, fool that Xroutlnjustieo has been done by luring tho present road ii) tho canyon, usud tin ii county road, as Midi was not tho uiidorbtaudlug ot tho pooplo. wiion i permission was given to chango tho old road to tho present one. Wo ho llo vo tho railroad company or the fontrn-toiR, whichever it may be, should be compollod to build tho road where it was: agiced that it should run if the temporary change was allowed. "W'o do not bolelvo it policy that wo should suffer any iucoiivoiiioiico in order that the railroad company or its coiiiiaclors should favo inoiioy for tlieiiiBclves. gjncwagrriiiiJitaLaifai Tlio "Orogon," "Sterling" and bust of nil tho "Grown Seal" cigars ut Jones Jrtj'. Victoria ami her advisers have ccrtainlv an eve to business.

Where heir- ging will not accomplish the desired obioct. bulldozing is iitcd. A Tri dune's recent cable copyught .-ays that a new sort of pressure is being tried in behalf of this Imperial Insti tute. It is now given out that Knighthood will be withheld from the mr.vors who have not rnied subscrip tions for (he Institute. Mnnyof these functionaries have preferred lo pro mote local objects in connection with the jubilee. This is to lie their pun ishment. rr jut. rjimnLi'.'.t' f vn.i A mouth of ihe inter-.-tate commerce law does not seem to increase its pop ularitv. The aim of Ihe law was o bcniflt the many at the expense of the corporatinos. From a brief experience Ihe law seems to worU lo the benefit of i a verv few at the expense of many, and it is as favorable lo the railroads as though Ihe law had been drawn for their cxpro-s benefit. The commis sion is overwhelmed with appeals for relief from the hardships claimed to be effected by the law, and Irom the coiirce so far pur.-iiod by the board the fourth section is.av be suspended all over the country. It is a disappoint ment lo 11 ml a law from which so much was expedod so complete a fail ure. Spokane Falls llen'rin There are live electric headlights in use on Ihe Cleveland, Akron and Co lumbus lbiilway, which (lie President of the road declares make an annual saving to the conipnuv of not less (ban $.)(), 000, probably a good deal more, bv lnevcnlinr: n'ecidents. If Iboe and olhcr roads were lo adopt some other j iiiclhod ot healing tlicir cars than by stoves, il would probably save many lives in eao of an accident lo a train. It might, no), be a financial success, though in a mutter of damages, for injuries icceiveil. against the compa nies. It is bad enough to be killed in a smash up, but it is slid woro to be burned to death after you are Killed. Portland Stock Yards Report. Portland, Or., May 2, 1887.
